🛑Limited customers groups for a significant portion of its revenue from engineering business, loss of any major customer groups due to any adverse development/significant reduction in business from major customer groups may adversely affect its business.
🛑Majority of revenue from operations is contributed by engineering business. Inability to successfully diversify product offerings of engineering business may adversely affect growth, negatively impact profitability.
🛑 Around 38% of Harsha's revenue comes from Europe, which is undergoing several issues at the moment due to high energy costs and facing a recessionary environment. Any kind of degrowth in the bearing industry in Europe may impact the business of the company.
Conclusion -
In recent years, manufacturers have started outsourcing of bearing components from emerging regions due to low cost manufacturing advantage. This is likely to positively impact the bearing cages manufacturers.
While China is considered as global mfg. hub, recent industry developments such as US China trade war & global outbreak of COVID led to manufacturers setting up manufacturing units in regions other than China to emerging economies like India.
